One of the coolest aspects of collaging is how every element, no matter how big or small, is necessary in order to create a larger image. The same is true of Grainger Library. Without all of you, we would not be the library that we are. We are grateful for you and are looking forward to the start of the semester so things don't feel quite so empty around here!
